Hello! I love the game and I must say that the using the first human voice ever recorded is a very genius idea! It sounds like the drone of wasps and it's old enough. Also it fits the phenomenon of this work...
You are so good at shaping weird characters who do not fit in . I love your style.
Game is great. I love gameplay. My biggest problem with the game its short. There is bug when you exit or enter a room and use flashlight it would be in the wrong place on screen. Holes in arms speaks for its self.
Hello and thank you for playing >\\\< Unfortunately I'm aware about that bug but I'm not able to fix it atm, I'm sorry for the inconvenience! As for the lenght did you find the secrets...? There are... things... hidden in the game, I can give you a hint! Last week was the game first anniversary and I made a riddle special video for it:
I did not yet find it. I did went in game folders to see what I can find and from what I saw from tilesets and everything else I will be playing game for a hot min.
i really liked this game but sometimes when i used the flashlight it kinda fucked up me moving around and also near the end when i would try to go back down the stairs or a ladder the screen would go black and i would have no choice but to just go up but its still a very good game and i will be playing the other ones you put out
Hi Miles! Thank you for playing Emerald Wasp, I'm glad you liked it! I'm also sorry that you encountered those problems ;__; unfortunately I still can't fix the first one, I know how to but my computer crashes when I try... as for the other one, you mean the ladders of the hidden tunnels right? So I can check the code (those ones require you to use the flashlight, but they shouldn't lock you in one direction so this is to fix)
Besides the mechanics themselves, I like how many resources there are at our disposal (walkthroughs, multiple translations, trigger/content warnings...) It's clear you care about the players a lot!!
Now, regarding the game: I adored every second of it. The setting, the lore, the OST, the character design, the art, the endings... (even the bad ones, LOL)
My my >\\\< I'm so happy to read you liked it so much! Hello Dev, thank you for playing Emerald Wasp and for writing this message! Glad to hear that you liked the bad endings to ahah! Did you get to the secrets of the game too? Again, thank you so much for your kind words!
Hello, I enjoyed the game, even if it was a bit clunky at times, it was fun and interesting, good job! I noticed in your development log that you're looking for a Spanish translator, is the offer still up? I'd like to help with a Spanish translation.
Hi HermeticsPontified! I apologize for the late response! I'm really glad to hear that you liked the game ;\\\; the mechanics are not aging well I see, I still have to find a way to fix them unfortunately. Thank you for offering ;\\\; at the moment there's a person doing the translation already, but could I keep contact with you if needed?
Sure! Do you have a Discord? I can send you a friend request on there so we can keep in touch if you need any help with translation. Thank you, and have a good day!
Hi Hermetics! I apologize, I missed this message ;__; my discord is [edit] although I don't need the translation I'd like to stay in touch! And since you offered to help me, if you need help from me for something let me know!
Hello! Sorry for the late reply as well. It seems the both of us are late to answer. I sent you an invite, you can edit the comment now. Thank you very much!
HIII, BANYA. I WANTED TO COME HERE AND TALK ABOUT A FEW THINGS. FIRST OF ALL, ABOUT HOW AMAZING YOUR WORKS ARE! I really appreciate you creativity and brilliant mind, and I am always up to know what will come next out of that genius ideas of you. I GOT SO OBSESSED OVER YOUR PLOTS AND CHARACTERS, BECAUSE THEY'RE SIMPLY UNIQUE AND DIFFERENT FROM EVERYTHING THAT I'VE EVER SEEN BEFORE! YOU'RE AMAZING. AND I HOPE THAT MORE PEOPLE ARE ABLE TO SEE THAT AS MUCH AS I DO. ☝💗
YOU ARE REALLY ON MY TOP 3 FAVOURITE GAME DEVELOPERS, and that's why I wanted to know as well, are you open to help people who are just starting to develop rpg maker/visual novel games? me and my partner are making our first horror rpg maker game, and we would appreciate so much if you could guide us a little, since we lack a bit of experience, IT WOULD BE AN HONOR TO HAVE YOUR CONSIDERATIONS AND TIPS!
if you are available, and if it's actually possible to, please, contact @Millevcb on twitter! WE LOVE YOU, BANYA, THANKS AGAIN FOR THE AMAZING GAMES. <3
Hi Notleander! I wish I could convey in English how surprised and honored I am to read your message ;\\\\; I'm flattered, really! And I'm so happy to hear that you liked the game so much, and that I'm one of your favorite devs! This is something that, to an indiedev like me, still look incredible to read and it made my day ;\\\\; Thank you so much for your kind words! And yes, of course I'm open to that, I'll write you on Twitter and do the best I can to help!
awww, it's just the truth, really! I had been playing your games for a while and I fell in love with the originality of each plot you created, the stories in general are so well written and it makes me crave for more, YOU ARE INCREDIBLE! YOU NEED TO BE EVEN MORE RECOGNIZED, I developed affection towards your characters and I just dedicated my whole day some time ago playing all of the endings from the games and etc! I WAS SO HAPPY WHEN I SAW THAT YOU REPLIED AHSHAHEBQHAH so that's the sensation a fan has when their idol actually responds -* _ *-
WE WILL BE HONORED TO HAVE YOUR HELP! my partner answered to you there, right? as soon as possible we'll be all talking about the project together, I am soooo happy to know that you are willing to guide us, you're simply the best!
Oh my, thank you again >\\\< but I definetly shouldn't be on a pedestal, I'm flattered really but I'm a normal person ahah! I hope I won't disappoint with next games then!
Dude, I played this game on stream as a replacement for a game that wouldn't start, thinking: "Ah! I don't think it will be anything too serius, just to play something" and now I'm just streaming/playing this. it has definitely become one of my favorite games.
Congratulations, you have created a truly beautiful game.

Ciao Bomber Pigeon! Appena ho letto il post ho fatto la corsa su Twitch a cercare il VOD e... siamo italiani entrambi ahah! Ti scrivo in italiano perché rispetto all'inglese posso esprimermi meglio, ma non hai idea di quanto mi ha fatto piacere leggere il tuo commento! Sapere che Emerald Wasp sia diventato uno dei tuoi giochi preferiti è davvero tanto >\\\< ti ho lasciato un follow intanto, mi sto divertendo un sacco a guardare il gameplay! Grazie per averlo giocato e streammato!
Ok so before I got to play this game, I actually thought Bela was a girl. Reasons:
1- I don't know he kinda looks girly.
2- Bela is a girly name.
3- So what do we know about bees and wasps, Queen bees are female but Bela is under control of the queen not is the queen. He/She can't be a worker cause they are only used for reproductive work and THAT IS DEFINTALY NOT BELA'S JOB. So He/She can only be a worker bee.
The thing is. Worker Bees are only female. So Bela can only be a female right? So yeah and then I watched EpyksLion's playthrough and yeah. Bela is a boy.
ok yep I was right ( I think) but OMG the true ending almost made me cry. You know what? I did cry. So wholesome.... I loved this game alot and even though I just watched another person play it it was still so heartbreaking and beutiffual at once.(Sorry for misspellings)
Hi La1n370wo! I admit that's an interesting take, I don't mind it! Epyks made a very cool video, I liked it a lot. Here are some clarifications to your questions:
Béla (read Beela) is a Hungarian male name, meanwhile wasps have different structures depending on the species. Just for him I used the role of the Emerald Wasp, which is an antisocial wasp (no hive, no workers, etc). Parasitic wasps, when parasiting other wasps, can alter their host function from worker to queen, usually to infiltrate hives and take over. Béla is basically an exception in that hive, loyal only to queen but having none of the social roles of the other 'wasps'.
I hope it helped! And if you play the game I hope you will enjoy it x3
No need to say sorry, it's ok! And I'm glad it helped >\\\< I'd love to hear your theories, please share them! As for Rule of Salt I started development just recently so it will take time, I hope not as much as Emerald Wasp but I share the progress on Twitter and Bluesky

where's the secret ending where leon and archie kiss /j
lmao xD might add another cipher for this in the future!
getting this reply was the equivalent of using an ouija board and getting an actual response from a demon /pos

I dont know will reply if I get more info on what his job is.
ok yep I was right ( I think) but OMG the true ending almost made me cry. You know what? I did cry. So wholesome.... I loved this game alot and even though I just watched another person play it it was still so heartbreaking and beutiffual at once.(Sorry for misspellings)
Oooh >\\\< I'm really happy that you like it!
And that the wholesome vibe was a good ending for a game like this <3

I hope it helped! And if you play the game I hope you will enjoy it x3
(OMG sorry for replying so late) But thank you so much for the explamation! Some of the stuff in this game can be a bit confusing but yeah! ;/////;
But I have a bunch of theories that I want to share with you but I think im gonna put it in a sperate comment!
(Also when is Rule of Salt coming out? Also is it gonna be in the same universe as Emerald Wasp? That would be cool.
No need to say sorry, it's ok!
And I'm glad it helped >\\\< I'd love to hear your theories, please share them! As for Rule of Salt I started development just recently so it will take time, I hope not as much as Emerald Wasp but I share the progress on Twitter and Bluesky
